100% Money Back Guarantee

At Paula’s Choice Skincare we believe our products will work as claimed. In fact, if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason we will give you a full refund or credit (including tax if applicable) for products returned within 60 days of your purchase date. As usual for online purchases, shipping fees are non-refundable.

Price point is slightly high, HOWEVER the product is very smooth, creamy and moist so, the splurge may be worth the price. PROBLEM WITH THE CONTAINER. There is a lot of waste in this tube packaging. Once you feel that the tube is empty and you have no more shave cream….CUT OF THE top of the tube and then scoop out the product that is clinging to the sides and bottom of the tube container. There will be AT LEAST 24 more generous face applications of shaving cream. just bend the top of the container and secure it closed with a paper clamp so that the exposure to air dosen't cause the remaining shave cream to oxidize and get hard and unuseable.

This tube sucks. This product SHOULD BE IN A JAR with a twist off lid.

The product itself….PRIMO

Great non-irritating formula. But it irritates me something awful because I cannot get it out of my razor. After just one stroke, it's in there like cement. I just wish it were a little lighter and less thick!

I have very sensitive breakout prone skin so I always avoided shaving til I had to sacrifice comfort and choose to look clean. This changed my mind for good. The cream is very cushy and buttery. I get a very close shave with this without any irritation. This rinses off leaving my skin look and feel very smooth. However, it feels like I can't slide my finger across my skin very easily, it's not the silky smooth, but more like I'm touching bisque - not at all bad, just something I notice.

I had trouble with shaving for years, and I'm so happy I bought this product! I had lots of trouble with irritation and breakouts, to the point where I avoided shaving even though I don't like how I look with facial hair. I have just started using this product and I can already see the difference! Absolutely no irritation, at all!I've never been as excited for a product, I will be buying again and recommending it to everyone!Thanks Paula!Bonus: The bottle is huge and you don't need much!

This was OK. I ultimately ended up returning it because it was so hard to rinse away. After putting it on my face, my hands were so slippery I had to wash them before picking up the razor. This was really annoying. Additionally, it was hard to rinse away from the blade. I enjoyed how my face felt after shaving, but the hassle was not worth it.

I am using the full version of this product. I actually see an improvement on my neck. Before this product, I would shave like once or twice a week because the ingrown hairs would kill me! I actually have scars and brown spots on my neck. I'd shave and I'd get really bad irritations. Shaving was a nightmare. But this product has significantly minimized I can get a close shave, and it's not irritating. Unless I find a better product, I'll keep using this.

The Art of Shaving Unscented shave cream. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I do end up with a very close shave and soft skin afterwards. I think texture is a preference thing and I'd prefer something a little lighter and more airy. This is a very dense, flat shave cream and I also find it to be slightly drying if I do not keep adding water to it and swirling it around on my face. Overall, a much less expensive version of this "type" of shave cream. I'd like to see a fluffier version.

My husband found it completely non irritating and gentle. He still chose to stay with his old shaving foam because 1) he prefers the lighter texture of shaving foam and 2) the emollient part of it was relatively harder to rinse off the blades during shaving and many small pieces of hair would remain stuck to the blades. It would finally get rinsed in the end off but not as easily as his usual foam. Worked well on my legs & I did not find it so uncomfortably sticky. Personal preference, I guess

I'm not 100% sure about this but I'd buy it again anyway because it's way better than most other shaving preps out there. I give it five stars for being fragrance-free and full of beneficial ingredients. But I subtract one star because it leaves strange film on the skin which can be quite tricky to wash off post-shave. I also find it drags slightly when using my razor though that might be a very individual thing. You are definitely on the right track PC!

Makes even dull razors cut through stubble seamlessly. Rinses clean and contains some beautiful ingredients. Also, at $12 for 60z. this is quite a bargain. I was previously using the shaving gel from Clinique for Men and suspect it was responsible for some unusual spots and signs of irritation I was getting. I'm so glad I made the switch.

I used to buy The Art of Shaving unscented shaving cream for my husband- he really loved the way it worked for his skin. It was the first shaving product he'd ever used that fully convinced him that it made a huge difference in his skin and how good of a shave he was getting. I got him a tube of this because of the faith I have in Paula's Choice, and my husband says that he loves it even more than the other stuff, which costs twice as much for an ounce LESS. Nothing but the best for my man!

Amazing product! I'm a shaving cream snob. Trust me, I have tried them all and this cream is the best hands down. Perfect texture and spreads like a dream. You can feel it soothe your skin as soon as you apply it. The result is an even, close and completely irritation free shave.

I am pleased to see a new PC shave salve. The now-discontinued shave gel (coupled with the now-discontinued body spray as a pre-shave "oil") was decent for me, as was the Smooth Finish Conditioner, but PC4Men Shave outperforms them all.

I gave it two stars because it works as a shaving cream, but as at least one other reviewer stated, it does not rinse cleanly. I do not use soap because I hate the film it leaves on my body. This cream does the same thing. My skin feels sticky and tacky after using it, and I have to wash my legs again. If soap does not bother you, then this might not, but if you use body wash like me, then avoid this cream. I wish they would bring the old cream back!

It's not that this is really bad. It's just not great. I LOVED the original Paula's Choice shave gel, the non-foaming blue gel with bisabolol and azulene. It was so wonderful! There was nothing else like it out there. This new shave cream, while full of nice skincare ingredients, has a very typical and boring base formula. The one really bad thing about it is once you rinse it, it leaves a weird tacky feel to you skin. :-( Please Paula, bring back the blue gel. It was so good!

Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We're sorry this shaving cream didn't meet your needs, and are happy to provide a full refund. We're not planning to bring back the original shave gel; proportinately more customers disliked that porduct compared to PC4MEN Shave. However, you may want to take a look at the Zirh brand, as their Shave Gel is a pretty close match to what we used to offer, though it does contain fragrance.

Ordered a sample of this cream and used it along with my shaving brush and double edge razor. It offered a very pleasant and irritation free shave. Will definitely be buying in the future, and at $2 per ounce thats a price you can't beat. If any guy on here is sad that Paula's doesn't offer a shave GEL you should have a look at the fragrance free gel from Every Man Jack. As far as I can tell it contains no unnecessary irritants. The Every Man Jack CREAM however doesn't lather or rinse easily.

In comparison to the old gel, this is better. In comparison to what I can get at Target, this is better. It's a shaving cream, guys! There's only so much it can (and should) do. I find it cushions nicely, and the coconut oil is a conditioning relief for my skin while it's being tortured by a barrage of 5 blades. Nicely done, PC!

The base formula is as generic as shave creams come. Same drying formula that most other companys use and the added soothing ingredients don't couteract it. Would have liked a more high tech gel or gel/lotion with more slip.

Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We're sorry you did not find this formula to be as advanced as we do, but will gladly provide a full refund and you can always look to Beautypedia to find other shaving creams/gels we recommend.

I waited patiently for this product since the discontinuation of the close comfort gel shaving product and am so disappointed in it. Like others have said you have to use much more product. This does not provide nearly as close or comfortable shave as the gel. I used it again this morning and it actually hurt to shave, leaving me all red with razor burn and cuts. This is the only PC product that I dislike. I really hope you guys read the negative feedback and bring the gel back please!!!

Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We appreciate your feedback. At this time, the previous shave gel won't be making a comeback. Sadly, proportionately more people disliked that formula compared to the current PC4MEN Shave.

I have been waiting patiently for this product since PC discontinued its Close Comfort Shave Gel which I loved and used religiously. I had been using PC Smooth Finish Conditioner as a temporary fix and was excited to see this product arrive. It is just an okay product. It does not soften tough hairs like its predecessor. Instead of a soothing gel formulation, it's cream based and feels rather soapy. My skin is somewhat dry & taut after use. I will continue to use, but the search continues.

LOVE IT! I have super sensitive skin. It's fabulous for the bikini area too ladies. I have tried a ton of expensive shave creams and this is by far the best! My husband loves it also. Paula please package for the ladies as well as a 1 or 2 oz travel size.

I really preferred the gel formulation and was really disappointed to see it removed from the product line. I have to use more of this new shaving cream and I still get some nicks and razor burn. I'll give it 3 stars because my husband likes it.

The cream I was using prior to purchasing Paula's new cream had every that I liked in a shave cream/gel, thick yet light weight, rich moisturizing foam and NEVER left that soapy feeling that make your face squeak when your rub your hands against it. Only problem was it had mint fragrance. So I gave Paula's a chance and after a few uses, I noticed clogged pores and breakouts in my beard area, mostly on my chin. I haven't broke out in awhile so this was a major disappointment. I Miss the shave GEL.

Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! We suspect the breakouts are coincidentla as the shave cream is rinsed off and not designed to leave a film on skin that could potentially clog pores. However, if you feel this product is to blame or are dissatisfied with it for any other reason, please contact our Customer Care Team and they would be happy to assist with a refund or exchange!

While I was impressed with the lather and slip during shaving, this left my skin feeling very tight and dry; just as if I shaved with bar soap! I could see how this would be great for a face, but I am not impressed at all for my legs.

I bought this for my husband and decided to try it myself. It is honestly, the best shave cream I've ever used. Fantastic product. Leaves my legs feeling soft and a great shave. Oh, and hubby likes it too!

What makes this product unique?
This innovative, ultra-soothing, and effective shave cream has a cushiony texture that protects skin and ensures a close shave. The light, irritant-free formula rinses easily, leaving your skin comfortably smooth with an unbelievably close shave.

This product contains no added dyes, is 100% fragrance-free, and is clinically proven to be non-irritating.

Who is this product for?
PC4Men Shave is recommended for all skin types and can be used anywhere on the body.

A nickel-sized amount should be plenty to cover the beard area (including the neck and under the chin). A thin, even layer provides the best results. Rinse the razor blade with water after every two to three strokes.

Yes! PC4Men Shave may be used to shave unwanted or excess hair from anywhere on the body. It will not sting or burn delicate skin areas, though we encourage you to use extra caution when shaving around sensitive parts!

Yes. Whether you shave while showering or at your bathroom sink, PC4Men Shave works to provide a close, smooth, comfortable shave you can see and feel—and best of all, you won’t be dealing with unsightly red bumps or razor burn (but do be good about changing your razor blade as needed; a dull blade puts your skin on the fast track to razor burn).

No, that’s more about personal preference. Some men feel they get a closer shave if they wash their face prior to shaving, while others find it doesn’t matter if they wash first or when they’re done shaving. Experiment to see which method works best for you!

No problem! Chances are, there’s a Paula’s Choice product in one of our other collections that will get the job done—without any fancy (re: girly) packaging or fragrance. Our Clear line is a great add-on for men struggling with moderate to severe acne, or you can mix and match between Clear and PC4MEN as needed. Same thing if you see a product in any of our other lines (Resist, Skin Balancing, Earth Sourced, etc.) that you think may work best for your skin type or concerns. Not sure if you should shop outside the PC4MEN line? Give us a call or chat us up, and we’ll steer you in the right direction!
